: It describes a lipoma most likely as it seems to be encapsulated fat. Confusing as for location otherwise, make sure you confirm with your doc at follow up.

What you described is consistent with a lipoma, a benign condition of fat cells. Unless it cause discomfort or becomes a cosmetic issue, you can watch and wait. Wish you good health!
